Ray Dalio, one of the world’s most successful investors and entrepreneurs, shares the unconventional principles that he’s developed, refined and used over the past forty years to create unique results in both life and business—and which any person or organization can adopt to help achieve their goals.In 1975, Ray Dalio founded an investment firm, Bridgewater Associates, out of his two-bedroom apartment in New York City. Forty years later, Brid gewater has made more money for its clients than any other hedge fund in history and grown into the fifth most important private company in the United States, according to Fortune magazine. Dalio himself has been named to Time magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world. Along the way, Dalio discovered a set of unique principles that have led to Brid gewater’s exceptionally effective culture, which he describes as “an idea meritocracy that strives to achieve meaningful work and meaningful relationships through radical transparency.” It is these principles and not anything special about Dalio—who grew up an ordinary kid in a middle-class Long Island neighborhood—that he believes are the reason behind his success.In Principles, Dalio shares what he’s learned over the course of his remarkable career. He argues that life, management, economics and investing can all be systemized into rules and understood like machines. The book’s hundreds of practical lessons, which are built around his cornerstones of “radical truth” and “radical transparency,” include Dalio laying out the most effective ways for individuals and organizations to make decisions, approach challenges and build strong teams. He also describes the innovative tools the firm uses to bring an idea meritocracy to life, such as creating “baseball cards” for all employees that distill their strengths and weaknesses and employing computerized decision-making systems to make believability-weighted decisions. While the book brims with novel ideas for organizations and institutions, Principles also offers a clear, straightforward approach to decision-making that Dalio believes anyone can apply, no matter what they’re seeking to achieve.Here, from a man who has been called both “the Steve Jobs of investing” and “the philosopher king of the financial universe” (CIO magazine), is a rare opportunity to gain proven advice unlike anything you’ll find in the conventional business press.

Review

Winner of the Axiom Business Book Award for 2018

“Mr. Dalio has long been an object of fascination. . . . His new book is more significant than the original list of principles: It is part memoir, part how-to guide. It is a deeply personal story, with Mr. Dalio wading into how he started his firm in 1975, internal conflicts inside the company, and strife early on in his career. The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving. . . . Underneath what may seem like a clinical, emotionless approach is something different and far more poignant: Mr. Dalio is preaching for individuals to have a sense of humility and introspection, an ability to open themselves to appreciate pointed criticism and use it to improve.”—The New York Times

“If there was an ‘it’ book for businesses or careers in 2017, it was Ray Dalio’s Principles. The book, weighing in at nearly 600 pages, begins with the author’s own story, including the rise of Bridgewater Associates, Dalio’s highly successful investment firm. Part memoir, part strategic plan, Dalio uses his own history to provide suggestions on attaining success while always stressing the power of individuality and personal goals. This isn’t just a book for the power elite. Dalio’s highly detailed game plan focuses on what he calls ‘radical’ truths and transparencies, and are applicable to the careers of powerful CEOs, ladder-climbing executives, longtime grunts, and fresh-faced rookies.”—Chicago Tribune

“Ray Dalio has provided me with invaluable guidance and insights that are now available to you in Principles.”—Bill Gates

“I absolutely loved this book. It’s beautifully written and filled with such wisdom.”—Arianna Huffington

“I found it to be truly extraordinary. Every page is full of so many principles of distinction and insights—and I love how Ray incorporates his history and his life in such an elegant way.”—Tony Robbins

“Ray Dalio’s market acumen is legendary, but it was creating and living by a set of principles that allowed him to reach the top. Everyone with goals and dreams can learn from Ray’s approach.”—Michael Bloomberg

“It’s important and instructive to share what you’ve learned in life with others, and Ray does this in an interesting and provocative way in this compelling work.”—Jamie Dimon

“I was surprisingly moved by it. I found it to be remarkably engaging. It made me think about life and how we all deal with each other in pretty profound ways. And Mr. Dalio’s own story about how he came to these principles is fascinating.”—Andrew Ross Sorkin

“The billionaire investor has created the strongest culture I’ve ever seen in an organization—one that prizes radical transparency over politics and meritocracy over democracy. In his long-awaited book, he describes the systems that he has designed to shape meaningful work, meaningful relationships, and the world’s most successful hedge fund.”—Adam Grant

“I highly, highly recommend this book. It has already changed how I think about making decisions in my life and in my business.”—Tim Ferriss

- This is NOT a book. It is a divine manifesto. This is the Gita part 2 for me. If you have a 'lifetime' fav book, then it's time to replace Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged with this one.- I've been a huge fan of Ray for years, but this book details WHY he is so successful.- The ability to separate results from causes & peek in between the gaps is the specialty of the book.- Personally, what I love is the reinforcement of the principles of 'radical transparency & idea meritocracy' that are the solid pillars of this book.- The truthfulness; the bare-knuckle punches that extoll the reader to be honest, truthful & REAL are the parts that make this book glow.- The chapters that deal with people management with the focus to be empathetic yet demanding are special. Rarely do you come across a leader of such gravity writing about HOW to handle people- I love the no-nonsense, 'non-negotiable' principles laid down in the book.- The real encounters, cases studies & insights Ray shares are priceless.

THIS IS NOT A BOOK for folks who operate a Political, Bossy, "I am right" styled operation. This is a book that can turn you first into pixy dust & then into God.

Extraordinary biography, self-development book, and business operations guideline/manual rolled into one. Tells the story of his success in moderate detail and lays out the process and rules by which you can model it. While Ray Dalio is undoubtedly a brilliant mind, the main takeaway was that Bridgewater's success was more from an unyielding discipline to systematic continuous learning and improvement via these "principles" rather than some sixth sense in predicting the markets.

A book that brings in a balance between work and life. Ray Dalio's writing is apt for any individual who is looking for a way to approach things positively. overall easy principles to read and reflect through the various facets of career and personal life. Biography is lucid and short to understand the authour's background and his interests.Being in wealth management each part of the book was worth the time and relevance.

Often we read books about Steve Jobs and Elon Musk written by other people which tries to understand how these guys function. The views are still third party.Ray Dalio, on the other hand, wrote a book on his way of dealing with the world. For the first time ever you can see through a brain of a billionaire. He doesn't only shares his own set of principles, he tells you how to build your own set of principles by embracing your reality and your world. This book is insanely rational and analytical and teaches you how to look at everything related to you objectively.

This book can help you become a more evolved human being at a faster rate!

The book is written by one of pioneering investor. But anyone looking for original ideas will be disappointed. The central idea of the book can be summarized in the attached picture. This idea is elaborated in various way. The author Ray Dalio is extremely honest in every comment.However, when picked the book up I had more expectation I was looking Peter Thiel in Ray Dalio and could not find one. But the book can provide you with new way of thinking how to proceed in life in general.

1) the book & paper quality: the book quality is fine and value for money

2) the content of the book is really interesting and edifyingThere is so much for us to learn and apply.

It's inspiring and eye opener to so many things.It is detailed and has a lot insights. We might find a lot of reference to other books, which one may use as a suggestion (or references ) and expand their reading horizon. Amazing use of language easy to understand, it's been a while since I have read the book and a lot of Decisions have become more faster to take, a lot of error have been reflected upon and some corrected by me, focuses largely on decision making

Some points I would like to brief from the book:1) Mainly the power of audacious goals2) Achievements of all goals through collective decision making3) avoidance of Emotional hijacking or staying clear from harmful Emotions4) Letting go the attachment of me knowing the right answers5) use of clinical objectivity

The journey of Ray Dalio has been explained so transparently and with so much detail.
